Chiefs add Brandon Williams to 53-man roster

The Kansas City Chiefs have promoted veteran defensive tackle Brandon Williams to their 53-man roster and there’s a chance the longtime Baltimore Raven will play when they visit the Broncos on Sunday.

The Missouri Southern State University graduate was drafted by the Ravens in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He played for four seasons for the Lions, including being named the MIAA Defensive Player of the Year for the 2012 season.

The Chiefs waived defensive tackle Taylor Stallworth earlier this week. That created an opening on the roster for Williams, who was signed to their practice squad on Nov. 30 and has spent the past week-plus learning the playbook.
